Margot's Day: A Narrative Fiction

The children are painfully jealous of Margot, therefore, hurting her because of their own pain. Since Margot was different than the others and stood apart, one of her classmates shoved her and mocked her while she looked out at the rain. Margot didn’t respond to any of this jealousy, as it says in the text “But she did not move; rather she let herself be moved only by him and nothing else.” The kids kept mocking, shoving and yelling at Margot because she thought that the sun would come out. The problem progressed so much that the children grabbed Margot and locked her in the closet so she wouldn’t see the sun that just came out in seven years. That sentence in the text was “They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door.” This shows how mean her classmates were, they knew that

She then starts to walk slowly towards him, as he see's this he starts backing up just a bit faster. Margot's walk turns into a faster walk, and then a run, and finally she starts sprinting at full speed at him. As William tried to yell he is stopped by Margot who has him by the neck. None of the children tried to help William as they were too scared to try. As time past Margot's grip got tighter, and William's face was turning blue.She just stared at him with completely red blood shot eyes waiting for her entire neck to snap. Just as William is about to die the teacher kicks down the door, and hits Margot in the face with the end of a shotgun that she is carrying. As Margot is on the ground she looks up and is greeted by the barrel of the shotgun just inched from her face. "Your expelled" the teacher says with an angry look on her face as she pulls the trigger, and Margot's head explodes with blood going every where. The teacher exhales in relief as she looks at Margot's body on the ground with no traces of life at all coming from it. But as she turns around to see the children she is surprised to see that they are even more pale than before having seen the horrible act that they have

Her eyes were blinded by the sight of the lightning. Margot stepped slowly out of the closet. She looked at all of her so called “friends” thinking of why they did this to her. She thought, “What did I do to them to deserve this?” She had never shoved their faces in the dirt, or stolen their lunches, she had never spoken a word to anyone. Maybe that was the problem? She cared for the other children even though, they were not as intelligent or self-assured as she was. She didn’t degrade them for this, in fact, she wanted to be like them. Margot hated every part of being different. She wanted to forget the sun that she used to see and be like the children.

“Damn, I know that. I had a teacher that was sorry for my mother for all the grief I caused her for being born.”

The class is writing their stories they are writing about how awesome the experience was but not Margot. Margot was writing about her previous experience and how great it was. The teacher walked over to Margot.

The young girl’s death was preventable, but people pushed the responsibility on to take the initiative to another, which was exemplified by “The teacher wonders but doesn’t ask” and “The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights” (Bentley and Crosby, 2002, l 5). These adults in the song evoke feelings of anger because of their chosen inaction. They are painted as cold and unfeeling, in other words, they have concrete hearts, which results in the death of the girl. The adult bystanders are condemned for not stepping in and ignoring the girl. the bystanders. The anger the reader feels toward the adults in the child’s life evoke feelings of anger which help to sympathize with the girl

Margot raced to their meeting place, zooming down the street and parking their bike behind a dumpster that hadn’t been touched in years. They started meeting up in an abandoned Junkyard when Matt had accidentally flung a can at Margot’s face and gave them a black eye. Margot quickly climbed over the barbed wire fence, hands getting cut in the process but, once they reached the top they lost their balance and fell over the other

Maddie, a girl who stood by while Wanda was ridiculed about her dresses, felt very sick inside. She was a part of making someone so unhappy she had moved away to the city. Repentant Maddie and her friend

They hated her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future.” (Bradbury, Paragraph 19) This shows us that the other kids in Margot’s class simply disliked her because of the rumors and assumptions that are said about her family. Margot feels so different among them and being rude and mean to her just makes it worse. The class of children were blinded by the fact that Margot can go back to Earth and they can’t. If they treated Margot the same as anyone else, they would’ve just been just happy for her. As you can see, there’s a feeling of resentment from the class of children. Secondly, though the class picked on her, Margot never fought back. "What’re you looking at?" said William. Margot said nothing. "Speak when you’re spoken to." He gave her a shove. But she did not move; rather she let herself be moved only by him and nothing

The first support point is optimistic/hopeful. "This is not the end It is not even the beginning of the end." Is the quote that she said in her diary during that time. When they about to sent Margot to work so they didn't give up and hid from the solders. She keep on hoping that the war will be over and they don't have to hide any more and worried of getting caught by the soldiers. Even when they found them because the robber tell then she didn't give up hope of still being alive. She

The walls were a familiar shade of black that had been hugging her body her entire life. As a young child, she had banged on these walls, kicked the structure which seemed to be mocking her, making it pay, until one of the lab coat men told her calmly, “The walls are your friend. You don’t hurt friends.” The young child stared up with defiance, her face contorted with disgust, her knuckles bloody from hitting. “Friends aren’t supposed to suffocate you,” she said with anger. Since the day her parents disappeared, she had not once seen daylight outside. She had never felt the grass underneath her feet, and she never got to complain about the sun’s radiating heat. Instead, she had to swallow up the sun and let it start a furnace inside of her,

“That gives you no right to lock her in the closet,” Miss Caroline explained. “DETENTION, all of you except Margot,” commanded Miss Caroline. Margot left the classroom in a hurry when the bell rang.

In fact, the story infers that they are actually jealous, and that they feel just as strongly about the sun as Margot, maybe even more. Margot seems to realize this herself, with the passage stating, “Sometimes, at night, she heard them stir, in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with. She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands. But then they always awoke… and their dreams were gone.” With Bradbury establishing and eloquently describing with sensory language how both the children and Margot feel early on in the story, the reader can easily differentiate the two parties, with Margot having memories of what the others covet. Because of this, the author is able to keep the story flowing well, while also explaining the reason for Margot’s

Margot’s classmates did not bully Margot at first. But as the story develops, Margot and Margot’s classmates feel the differences with each other, and they bullying her. Margot feels the differences with her classmates first.

Next Margot got locked in a closet by the other kids because they were jealous that she got to see the sun and they didn't. So the one time in seven years when the sun comes out all the kids gotta see it but then they realised that they left Margot in the closet when the sun came out. When they came back and let margot out of the closet they felt very bad for what they had done.
